Quote:People with good ears and good musical memories have to work harder at sight reading because they're not always depending as heavily on what's on the paper. Conversely, people without good ears and musical memories are more often great readers because they're always exercising that skill no matter how many times they've played or heard a tune before.

Quote:To be a professional musician, you MUST be both a good reader AND have good ears.

Quote:I've had some students who thought they were bad sight readers but upon experimentation, they sight read music GREAT when it was within they ability. A student trying to read a passage that has notes too quick or too high for them to play will mess it up not because they are reading badly but because they CAN'T play the passage.

Quote:those who have bad ears, in my experience, are also bad sight readers.
